Well, I got desperate. Apparantly my stock battery died a horrible death. So I ended up having to finaly install the SVR 75 I bought. The problem is it's a bit bigger than stock... Okay its a LOT bigger than stock. I had to remove the plastic tray and cover.

I have a question though. Is it okay to just have a tie-down across the top of the battery or do sanctioning bodies for car audio want more stability. The battery isn't going anywhere since its jammed in there (I don't know how I'll ever get it out to change it )

Anyone have opinions?

it should be fine with the stock tie down

what is with everybody removing the plastic tray?? I left mine in, but I did do away with the cover obviously

I kept my tray too.. but as long as the battery doesn't move around, you should be alright.

ya its just to keep it off the metal, maybe to collect battery acid

I wish I had a camera. I tried to fit it in the tray but it was over the edge by about 1/2 inch. At first my IMA light was on. Now it went off and the cel is on

maybe I should just fiberglass a tray. I don't know if it will raise the battery too much though.

I took my tray out even tho the battery would fit. It just takes too much side room and I needed clearance with hid wiring. I don't think the battery will fall out tho
